Import Tips

Obtain APHIS import permit for papaya-origin countries due to pest risks like Mediterranean fruit fly

Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg without proper ventilation to prevent mold during ocean freight

Declare exact drying method in entry docs to prevent disputes over 'dried' vs 'provisionally preserved' status
